"I'm pretty sure I will get in the top three.
"The main goal is No1."
Megan will be racing in the 9-year-old girls' competition, which is one of 37 categories offered at the world champs.
Megan has only been in the sport for two seasons but said she fell in love with the sport after watching her friend at the track.
"I really just like riding my bike and having to work hard and having to think about what you have to do."
She has learned a lot since starting in the sport including preparing mentally.
Megan will travel to Auckland with her family tomorrow and is set to race on Thursday.
She is coached by Rotorua's Lisa Horlor and gave a special thanks to her coach and to the Rotorua BMX Club.
The Rotorua BMX Club wished all their riders well in the lead up to the big event.
"It has been an amazing build up for our BMX riders and their families," Craig Elliott, Rotorua BMX Club vice-president, said.
"All of our team have trained the house down and are fully prepared."
He said, in an interesting twist, three of the Rotorua-based riders were being forced to represent Team Great Britain because of citizenship issues.
Elliott also said teenager Daniel Bowers-Wilson had travelled from Christchurch to train with the Rotorua team after his home track was flattened during the Christchurch earthquake.
"A rider from Finland and Daniel from Christchurch have joined us for training," he said.
"On behalf of the committee we wish our Rotorua team all the best, when that gate drops over four million people will be proud of each and every one of you."
The feature races during the world championships include the men's and women's elite competitions, which will see Kawerau's Sarah Walker leading the charge for New Zealand if she overcomes an injury scare.
Finals for the men's and women's elite competitions start from 3pm on Sunday, July 28.
Organisers expect more than 2000 riders from 30 countries for the championships.
